Dialogic: Education for the Internet Age argues that despite rapid
advances in communications technology, most teaching still relies
on traditional approaches to education, built upon the logic of
print, and dependent on the notion that there is a single true
representation of reality. In practice, the use of the Internet
disrupts this traditional logic of education by offering an
experience of knowledge as participatory and multiple. This new
logic of education is dialogic and characterises education as
learning to learn, think and thrive in the context of working with
multiple perspectives and ultimate uncertainty. The book builds
upon the simple contrast between observing dialogue from an outside
point of view, and participating in a dialogue from the inside,
before pinpointing an essential feature of dialogic: the gap or
difference between voices in dialogue which is understood as an
irreducible source of meaning. Each chapter of the book applies
this dialogic thinking to a specific challenge facing education,
re-thinking the challenge and revealing a new theory of education.
Areas covered in the book include: dialogical learning and
cognition dialogical learning and emotional intelligence
educational technology, dialogic 'spaces' and consciousness global
dialogue and global citizenship dialogic theories of science and
maths education The challenge identified in Wegerif's text is the
growing need to develop a new understanding of education that holds
the potential to transform educational policy and pedagogy in order
to meet the realities of the digital age. Dialogic: Education for
the Internet Age draws upon the latest research in dialogic theory,
creativity and technology, and is essential reading for advanced
students and researchers in educational psychology, technology and
policy.
